To be fair, I find you get that in any aisle seat in CE. People in economy board with huge rucksacks, then walk down a tight aisle happily bashing it into the shoulders and even faces of people sitting in the aisle.
When I flew back from HAM I was all the way back in row 8 and saw one of these economy passengers casually put his huge rucksack above 5F (which was then vacant), only to walk up to his economy seat. The 5F passenger turned up a few minutes later and found no space in his locker at all. I find people who have the biggest bags are often those with rucksacks.
